A novel, rapid and sensitive spectroflurimetric method was developed and validated for the determination of deferasirox in urine, serum and tablet samples based on sensitization of terbium fluorescence. The excitation and emission wavelengths were 328 and 545 nm, respectively. The optimum conditions for the determination of deferasirox were investigated considering the effects of various parameters. The method was quantitatively evaluated in terms of linearity, recovery, reproducibility and limit of detection. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensities were linear with the concentration of deferasirox in the range of 5 ¥ 10 -9 to 5¥10 -6 mol L -1, with a detection limit of 1.5 ¥ 10 -9 mol L -1 and a relative standard deviation of 1.1-2.3%. Linearity, reproducibility, recovery and limit of detection made the method suitable for determination of deferasirox in urine, serum and tablets samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
